Assembly Resolution No. 1335

BY: M. of A. Rules (Zinerman)

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 October 5-11, 2026, as Active Aging Week in the
 State of New York

 WHEREAS, Older adults bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to
the increasingly active roles they play in today's society; their past
contributions and future participation are a vital part of, and valuable
asset to, the fabric of community life and activity; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 5-11. 2026, as Active Aging
Week in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of
National Active Aging Week; and

 WHEREAS, Active Aging Week challenges society's diminished
expectations of aging by showing that, regardless of age or health
conditions, adults over 50 can live as fully as possible in all areas of
life, physical, social, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, vocational
and environmental; and

 WHEREAS, The objective of the annual health-promotion event is to
give as many older adults as possible the means to experience wellness
activities and exercise in a safe, supportive environment, and endorse
the benefits of healthier, more active lifestyles across the life span;
and

 WHEREAS, Active Aging Week was started in 2003, by the International
Council on Active Aging as an international event celebrating aging and
active living by engaging older adults in wellness activities in a safe,
friendly and fun atmosphere; and

 WHEREAS, The weeklong campaign calls attention to and wholeheartedly
celebrates the positivity of aging today and showcases the capabilities
of older adults as fully participating members of society and spotlights
the role models that lead the way; and

 WHEREAS, International Council on Active Aging (ICAA), a
professional association which leads, connects and defines the
active-aging industry, supports more than 10,000 professionals and
organizations that develop wellness facilities, programs and services
for adults over 50; this vital association is focused on active aging,
an approach to aging that helps older adults live as fully as possible
within all dimensions of wellness, and provides its members with
education, information, resources and tools; and

 WHEREAS, As an active-aging educator and advocate, ICAA has advised
numerous organizations and governmental bodies, including the United
States Administration on Aging, the National Institute on Aging (one of
the United States National Institutes of Health), The White House
Conference on Aging, and the United States Department of Health and
Human Services; and

 WHEREAS, Over the past 20 years, ICAA and its members have empowered
millions of older adults to improve their quality of life and maintain
their dignity through its Active Aging Week initiative; what began as an
incentive for older adults to lead healthier, more active lives has
become a tradition involving hundreds of thousands of individuals in
neighborhood groups, health and fitness clubs, parks and recreation
sites, seniors centers and senior living communities from New York to
New South Wales, Australia; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to commend the
efforts of those organizations which provide essential care and
supportive services for older adults, and serve to enhance the quality
of life for our loved ones; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 5-11, 2026, as
Active Aging Week in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
